    While I agree with 2/3 of that, 45's are still made. Just not in the
    mainstream market. Matter of fact I just received my promos for The Redd
    Foxx BBQ 45. It's still "tragically" hip to collect 45's.

    Same here. There is no real "singles" market anymore.
    So I treat MP3s like singles. If I get a couple MP3s from a certain artist
    and I happen to like them, I'll buy the album. If the labels were smart
    they'd give away or sell MP3 "singles" of a song and the amount donwloaded
    will gauge its success.

    I'm all for distributing and collecting MP3s, and I love how some
    import/rare stuff can be found via Napster (hey, if the labels can't sell
    them here in the first place, they haven't lost a cent). But I draw the
    line at ripping entire CDs. If you want to make a few songs available, go
    on ahead, but I don't think ripping or downloading an entire CD is cool.
